Invitation

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I would like to invite you to 13th Lodz East Asia Meeting Power Shifts in East Asia: Prospects for Developing Asian-European Ties, leading academic conference on East Asia in Poland. The event will take place at the Faculty of International and Political Studies of the University of Lodz on June 1-2, 2017. The keynote speech will be delivered by professor Emil J. Kirchner from University of Essex.

Ever since its first edition in 2002, the Lodz East Asian Meeting gathers scholars, researchers, and students from all disciplines that specialize in East Asian studies. Being the first academic conference of its kind in Poland, it has gradually become one of the most important venues for academic exchange in the field. In the previous years, it was possible to invite international speakers as well as renowned specialists to take part in the conference. The 2017 conference will focus on the prospects for developing Asian-European ties. The selected papers will be published in the new book series run by the Department of East Asian Studies of Contemporary Asian Studies Series.
